HOTEL CONDOMINIUMS

These projects blend hotels and condos into a single package. Normally, at least some portion of the condo units are owned by private unit owners but are used by the hotel for hotel guests. The "common area," owned by the condominium owners is managed by the hotel operator.

Condo hotels are typically sold as second or third homes, not primary residences, so that units become part of the hotel's inventory of rentable units.
